So. 29 rows and 29 beads. Vulpix is about to get her nose, and you can now see the tops of four of her six tails. That's the good news. The bad news is a few days ago when I was working on this I finally noticed both sides are missing the black column that would match the line of black on the second row.
Oops.
I strongly considered ripping everything out for a few minutes before coming to my senses and deciding to just deal with it. But I'm really annoyed by this. At least Vulpix herself is coming out quite nicely, and hey, approaching half done.
